[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like the cart before the horse. Yes, a kid’s home HS assignment might be changing, but they can’t actually start any of the programs at that newly assigned schooo until 2027. What if the program you want is at a different HS? What if you don’t get in to the program you want at your newly assigned home HS? Those electives you were hoping for go away for you[/quote]

This isn't about the regional programs, just changing your home school one year sooner than it would be changing anyway.[/quote]

You’re missing the point. Some of those kids never planned to go to their new home HS. They planned to apply and start a criteria or interest based program at another schooo in their new region. It’s a waste to move life befofe 2027 in HS.

It makes sense to offer the early move to MS, but it’s poorly timed as it will affect course offerings and teacher allocations. Also, textbook money and to be spent by May 1. So too late to adjust resources for these late transfers. [/quote]

The 8th graders (class of 2030) are not eligible for the new regional programs anyway so they can’t apply for them regardless of where they go to 9th grade.

DCC 8th graders placed through the choice process can stay through 12th at the school they go to for 9th, or, if they want to, they can move in 10th to their newly assigned home school, or, apparently, now if they think they would want to move in 10th grade they can move for 9th grade instead. But they can’t apply to regional programs in 9th grade. [/quote]
